Greetings, does anybody know if Ajahn Nyanadhammo is still the abbot of Wat Pah Nanachat International Monastery? He doesn't seem to be listed as a community member there and Googling him up drew nothing after 2007.
I've never met Ajahn but for some reason I resonate with his dhamma talks even more than Ajahn Brahm's. I listen to both of them on the BSWA website. I was hoping to find more of Ajahn Nyanadhammo's talks to listen to but couldn't find any.
Does anybody know if he has returned to Australia? Thanks.
Ajahn Nyanadhammo
Re: Ajahn Nyanadhammo
Hello ando, all,
Ajahn Nyanadhammo has been the abbot of Wat Pa Ratanawan in Thailand, a forest monastery at the foot of Kow Yai National Park, since 2007.
His position of abbot of Wat Pah Nanachat has been taken by Ajahn Kevali - from 2007 until the present.

Re: Ajahn Nyanadhammo
Of course really we shouldnt have favourite Dhamma teachers, its the robe not the person etc. But I suspect that many of us do. Mine is Ajahn Munindo.

I'd say the opposite: it's the person, not the robe.

I would have loved an autographed alms bowl from Ajahn Chah. 
Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …

He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

Re: Ajahn Nyanadhammo
I heard an anecdote once about a military officer came to him asking for holy water, Ajahn Chah then spat to him because the spat came from a monk so it must be holy.Cittasanto wrote:I'd prefer to be blessed by his holy water!
